Winner of American Sportfishing Associations, ICAST 2007 New Product Showcase Award for Best in Category Reels and Best of Show.
With the release of the Torsa reels, Shimano included the largest gear they could build. This gear is 22% larger than the Trinidad drive gear and 67% larger than the venerated TLD 25 reels.
The amount of power generated by Torsa's drivetrain, oversized handle shank and Ergonomic Power Grip is unbelievable. Along with today's super braided lines, it will usher in new meaning to "sizing down" to tackle powerful gamefish.
Also contribuing to the power of the reel is a Super Stopper one-way roller bearing with Assist Stoppper back-up ratchet anti-reverse system. The system has no backplay for solid hooksetting power and the reliability of two anti-reverse systems.
With the new Rapid Fire Quick Change Drag Cam System found exclusively on Torsa reels, this versatile reel can change to cater to specific techniques. By simply putting the reel into freespool and backing off the preset knob, the angler removes the drag cam from the reel. Then, by inserting one of 9 available Rapid Fire drag cams, you completely change how the reel is set up to fish within a matter of seconds. No tools required, and no screws to fall onto the deck of the boat.
